All that and more can be found this weekend at St. Mary’s Church’s 36th annual summer festival.
The event is free and open to the public and runs from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday (July 11, 12) on the church grounds, 212 Elizabeth St.
Parking is free and handicapped parking will be available behind the church rectory.
The popular festival, which draws thousands of folks each summer, will feature more than a dozen local food vendors and organizations peddling arts and crafts, too.

Some of the crafts and vendor booths will feature jewelry, fresh-picked vegetables, toys, pocketbooks by Thirty-One and Pampered Chef products.
For your listening pleasure, the band Phoenix, will entertain with live music on Friday night, and Saturday’s night’s musical guest will be Megawatt Entertainment.
The two-day festival will also feature a 50/50 raffle, a giant raffle with 10 cash prizes, as well as fun and games for kids.
John Coscia, the festival’s advertising chairman, encouraged people to stop by for great food and fun.
“People should put this event on their to-do list because it gives them the opportunity to bring the community together and to meet up with old friends and meet new ones while enjoying the taste of what the Valley has to offer, while supporting St. Mary’s Parish,” Coscia said.
Festival proceeds are used to maintain and repair the church and grounds.
Coscia added that the committee was able to purchase a tent for the festival this year, thanks to a grant from the Valley Community Foundation.
